Here are just a few of the uses of the filters in this kit:

#12 Yellow - 74%VLTYellow filters help greatly in viewing Mars by bringing out the polar ice-caps, enhancing blue clouds in the atmosphere, increasing contrast, and brightening desert regions. Yellow also enhances red and orange features on Jupiter and Saturn and darkens the blue festoons near Jupiter's equator.

#80A Blue - 30%VLTA blue filter provides detail in atmospheric clouds on Mars, increases contrast on the moon, brings out detail in belts and polar features on Saturn, enhances contrast of Jupiter's bright areas and cloud boundaries. A blue filter is also useful in helping to split the binary star Antares when at maximum separation.

ND96-0.6 - Neutral DensityNeutral density filters allow all wavelenghts to pass through equally. The effect of a neutral density filter is to reduce the overall brightness of an image. Neutral density filters are useful for splitting binary systems and reducing glare.
